Until now, these rock carvings were usually invisible because they were covered by the waters of the Negro River. Photo: @Brazilian Institute of Historical Heritage.

However, a severe drought has caused the water level of the Negro River to drop sharply, revealing dozens of ancient carvings depicting people from the civilizations that once lived in the area. Photo: @Brazilian Institute of Historical Heritage.

According to archaeologists, most of the stone carvings are human faces, some rectangular, some oval, with smiles or dark, strange, mysterious expressions. Photo: @Brazilian Institute of Historical Heritage.

“Ancient civilizations created carvings using tools such as axes made from crushed stone; These human faces convey emotions, both happy and sad. As we can analyze, some are smiling, others are depressed. We can even say that these carvings represent a state of mind and also reflect part of what they experienced during that period,” Jaime Oliveira, an expert from the Brazilian Institute of Historical Heritage, said.
